Back in the 80s I borrowed a book series from a friend and never got to finish it. I've half looked around over the years and can't find anything that sounds even close to what I remember. It started with a man in college and one day a strange device appears in his room, he finds himself trapped...

Alien Wars is a SciFi series by Marko Kloos I would like to read but I can only find the books in German. Anybody know if there are any English versions?

I'm pretty sure this was in the 1990s. I saw a review for it in VideoGames and Computer Entertainment and later acquired a copy of it (probably through illicit means given my habits back then). It was over-head viewpoint, maybe with 2-D graphics for the fixed viewpoint. You were fighting various...

The famous quote by Rowena Ravenclaw is "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure". But Ravenclaw is a woman. So why did she use "man" instead of using "person or something else"? I found it really weird as the writer JK Rowling is also female.

In Crimes of Grindelwald, Prof. Albert dumbledore and Hogwarts school was there, Then why Newt is not there at Age of harry potter ?

I have not read all the books, and those I read, I did so long ago. I just can’t find out whether Ender ever knew he killed those two boys. On the one hand, it would play along with his guilt feelings. On the other, it would be symbolically sound that he did not know about these “steps” toward xe...

Story identification questions are perfectly on topic here and in fact we are one of the main sites that have made them work. Video games are also on topic for us and we even have a specific video game story id guide. Now with that established we actually don't get many video game identification...

So I'll start by saying Brie Larson's Carol Danvers is Captain Marvel and we should all call her that. My question is though is the title diegetic? Can we expect anyone in the movies to call her that? I don't think anyone was called by their rank in the movie and I can't tell from the uniforms ...

My girlfriend says she saw a robot movie long time ago, and even I seem to remember that I also saw that movie sometime in my life, but can't remember exactly what movie/TV show it is. This is what she remembers, that also got me thinking. It was a 2000-2010 movie (She thinks) There was a HUGE ...

Why did Morden ask the Shadow's question to Kosh? They knew perfectly each other. Was it an error from Morden or was it a way to say 'hi. We are going to try it again after the last war'?

We all know Superman is hiding his true from the world behind his nerdy look and so is Kara. Let us not go into the details, how the glasses magically makes you unrecognizable. but let's just say that is possible. (Moving onto recent events) Alex makes John wipe Supergirl's identity from her con...

Througout the bobiverse series at the start of many chapters short lecture statements are given and proscribed to various speakers.

In The Penguins of Madagascar TV show, the four penguins are at the zoo, but the four main characters from the movie series are never shown (with the exception of Alex being a voice in Skipper’s head during “The Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole”). However, King Julien and the other lemurs ar...

I'm a casual Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film fan and have probably watched about a third of the MCU films that came out since Iron Man (2008). Is there a "Critical Path" of MCU films I should watch (or have watched) prior to watching Avengers: Endgame? I know Avengers: Endgame has not yet ...

In one of the final episodes of The Umbrella Academy we find that Vanya's violin is not something that was purchased explicitly for her Also in this scene we see and hear That is obviously not the case though from the given story. We know this flashback to have actually occurred given that ...

A long time ago, I read a story about a future war. Everything is in ruins. An old lady is trying to raise a boy. But one weapon has made everyone deaf. When the boy does something bad, all she can do is hold up a card which says "No!". They can tell when the air raid siren goes off by the v...

In The Terminator (1984), Kyle Reese uses the expression "HK", which he explains stands for "hunter killers". Fast forward to 2018, when the action movie "Hunter Killer" is released. Wikipedia lists Director James Cameron and Producer Gale Anne Hurd as the writers of "Terminator". Also, accord...

In the Serpent Catch series, one of the core characters is Phylomon, a (the only?) survivor of the original space faring humans who were forced to settle on the planet. He survives 1,000 years due to a symbiotic suit that also makes him blue and controls electricity. Several times in the book hi...

There are billions, trillions, of planets in the universe so wouldn't most have designations such as XYZ-123? ... especially a planet which is the home of the soul stone which doesn't want to be found, and probably doesn't have a civilization.

The Soul Stone banished Red Skull to Vormir because he didn't like his plans. But does the Soul Stone like Thanos' plans? Did the Power Stone like Star-lord? If the stones are sentient then must they not be able to choose between good and evil?

I read this some time ago and have been trying to find it again but I can't remember the title so hoping someone will recognize this description... The story follows a high school boy who gets a new video game from someone at school and starts playing it. There is an AI NPC in the game that deal...

There is some kind of interplanetary conflict going on between different human factions (aliens may or may not be involved). As a relatively minor plot point a group of or all humans have lost the ability to appreciate or comprehend music through a virus or other disease. I believe it changed the...

I'm looking for an anime that I watched a few years ago. It's about another world where there is old world type kingdoms where all the Kings and Queens are chosen buy a people that live on a high mountain. The people that are born of that people, are born from pods that grow from a special tree t...

Looking for an animated show/movie. It's about a tribe that live on a tether between two planets, made up of something like tree roots. The story is about one of them wanting to know more about the place they live and what is beyond their village.

Okay, so in the Flash Season 5, we see Nora travel to to other times, specifically 2049. I have no problem with this, as all seasons have dealt with time travel in some way or another (except maybe season 4, where I can't think of a time travel instance off the top of my head). What I find weird...

Newt Scamander has researched a lot on magical creatures and yet if you compare his book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them with Darwin's books, it'd look nothing. Why did Newt Scamander write such simple book which doesn't even have those details which Newt Scamander knew in Fantastic Beas...

I don't remember the name or the author of the book but I read in in Thailand sometime before 1987. It opens with the protagonist, a scientist?, who warns that the plankton in the sea is dying off and will soon approach apocalyptic proportions. In the end civilization breaks down and human kind...

In the recently released S02E09 of Star Trek: Discovery, we learned that Why didn't Red Angel simply tell Discovery crew or Spock using normal language?
